Bethany warned Larry about Sharra regarding Brooke Read More
🟡 A Secret Bethany Couldn’t Keep
Bethany had been holding the truth in for days, and it was eating her alive. Every time she saw Larry, the weight on her chest grew heavier. Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore.
They were sitting across from each other when Bethany spoke, her voice low and careful.
“Larry… I need to tell you something. And you’re not going to like it.”
Larry looked up instantly. He knew that tone.
“Just say it,” he replied. “Whatever it is, I deserve to know.”
Bethany took a deep breath.
“Brooke is staying at Sharra’s house. And Sharra already knows everything about her and Isaiah.”
Larry stiffened.
“What do you mean everything?”
Bethany swallowed hard.
“Sharra forced Brooke to confess her secrets. Every single one.”
Larry’s jaw tightened. Something felt very wrong.
🟡 Sharra’s Plan Behind Closed Doors
According to Bethany, nothing about Brooke and Isaiah was accidental.
“Sharra wants Brooke to settle with Isaiah,” Bethany continued. “That’s why she keeps pushing them together.”
Larry shook his head in disbelief.
“That makes no sense. Why would she interfere like that?”
Bethany looked away.
“Because as long as Brooke is single, Sharra can’t freely date Joel. She’s afraid Brooke will question her… or get in the way.”
Larry’s eyes darkened.
“So she’s using Brooke as a distraction?”
Bethany nodded.
“Yes. She wants Brooke busy, emotionally attached, and focused on Isaiah.”
The silence between them grew heavy.
🟡 Isaiah’s Proposal — Love or Pressure?
Meanwhile, Brooke and Isaiah were spending more time together. Walks, dinners, laughter—it all looked perfect from the outside.
But Larry didn’t trust it.
“Isaiah proposed to her,” Bethany added quietly.
“What?” Larry snapped.
“Not officially yet, but he’s planning to. And Sharra knows. She supports it.”
Larry ran a hand through his hair, anger flashing across his face.
“I don’t trust him,” he said firmly. “Isaiah isn’t serious. He’ll use Brooke and leave her broken.”
Bethany nodded slowly.
“That’s exactly what I’m afraid of.”
Larry leaned back, his thoughts racing.
“Brooke deserves someone who protects her, not someone who benefits from her silence.”
🟡 Larry’s Anger Turns Into Resolve
Larry stood up abruptly.
“I can’t just watch this happen,” he said. “If Sharra is manipulating her, and Isaiah is playing along, someone has to stop it.”
Bethany looked worried.
“What are you going to do?”
Larry’s voice was calm, but dangerous.
“First, I’m going to talk to Brooke. Alone.”
“And if she doesn’t listen?” Bethany asked.
Larry clenched his fists.
“Then I’ll make sure Isaiah knows I’m watching him.”
Bethany hesitated.
“Be careful, Larry. This could blow up.”
Larry looked at her, eyes full of determination.
“It already has.”
🟡 What Comes Next… No One Knows
That night, Larry stood outside Sharra’s house, watching the lights inside. Somewhere in that house, Brooke was laughing—unaware of the web tightening around her.
Sharra believed she was in control.
Isaiah believed his charm would protect him.
Brooke believed she was choosing love.
But Larry believed something else entirely.
“If I don’t step in now,” he muttered to himself, “she’ll pay the price later.”
Bethany watched from a distance, her heart pounding. She had done her part by telling the truth. What Larry did next would change everything.
Would Brooke see the manipulation before it was too late?
Would Isaiah prove Larry wrong—or confirm his worst fears?
And how far would Sharra go to protect her own happiness?
The answers were coming.
But not yet.
Because some storms don’t arrive with noise—
they arrive quietly, disguised as love.
